MOJO FILTER
" Mrs. Love Revolution "
( Club De Musique ) 2011.
CD - ITALY
70's rock/vintage rock








A few days ago, I heve received a CD from very interesting Italian act - Mojo Filter. During the previous months, a band did a lotta' effort  in promotional campaign, and many portals and zines constantly informs about group's entire carrear. Till now, they have released with actuelle one a 2 albums and one single. " Mrs. Love Revolution" is actuelle  product from previous 2011 year, where we can face it with 10 songs in. Italians are on therithory of  70's / vintage rock tendencies, but we can not threat ' em as a classic retro act. A present materials, and performing realizations of band members has showed a clear author's personality, and also a highest level of originality. In some aspects, they know to remind on known USA groups from mentioned era, also on British act Faces, but that's only a starting point of view. They are also psychologicaly deeply in the field of wanting interesting spheres, but musically they capture also a standards of our time." Mrs. Love Revolution" are consists of coherent and equlizing materials, without leading song, but also without a weaker places. Fine work and recomandable album...

Schooled in the jazz tradition, yet influenced by a wide range of music and experience, Dingman draws inspiration and meaning from  a diverse set of musical sources uniting them in a progressive approach that has earned him praise for his  " pouignant work " ( David Sprague, Variety ), his "adaptive humility" ( Nate Chinen, NY Times ), and as " downright hypnotic" ( John Barron, All About Jazz ).
